US Senate race: Brown vs. Moreno — live results

Sherrod Brown and Bernie Moreno turned the race for the U.S. Senate seat into one of the most expensive in the nation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown and Republican businessman Bernie Moreno are competing for the U.S. Senate seat to represent the state of Ohio. 

With Democrats holding a tenuous 51-49 voting majority in the Senate but defending more seats than Republicans, Brown’s seat is expected to be a top GOP target. He is the lone Democrat holding a non-judicial statewide office in Ohio, a state that has moved steadily to the right during the Trump era.

Ad spending topped $400 million in early October, making the Senate race the most expensive in the country so far, according to data from AdImpact, which tracks campaign spending on advertising. That total includes a competitive Republican primary earlier this year. 

In the general election, the data shows Republicans have outspent Democrats on the Brown-Moreno race.  

Moreno has been endorsed by Donald Trump and Brown is seeking his fourth Senate term in office.
